Category: THE POWER OF PRAYER

I PRAY TO YOU GOD BECAUSE YOU WILL HEAR ME…

As I pondered this past year I looked deeply into my own soul, how did I respond to being forced to “slow down”?  It was then that I realized;  physically everything slowed down, yet in the process of this forced stall, my mind actually sped up… everything was chaotic, so much messaging coming from so many directions that my mind and heart were actually moving at warp speed… creating anxiety over calm and stress over peace…

Dancing with Jesus…

We have no way to know what God has planned here for us.. for others.  But we know with absolute certainty that He is IN it.  He has chosen to use us to work out His plan in this community that He has placed us.  What an honour to see both sides of a prayer;  the one spoken to the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and the one He is answering before our very eyes.

The power of prayer…

The other beautiful thing about prayer that many people don’t recognize… it’s a two way conversation.  Many of us get caught up in the Vending machine in the sky kind of prayers… God I need…. Yet we forget to look at the many things He has already provided for us.

Two years ago, when I first wrote this journal entry, I could not see a future through the clouds of pain. “Faith Not Fear” was my daily mantra as I struggled to put one foot in front of the other. As I sit here writing today, I can look back and see the journey through a “post-perspective”, a rear view look in the mirror.

the Three-legged stool…

Lord Jesus, thank you for being my strength when mine is not sufficient.  Thank you for letting me see glimpses of You in the midst of the darkness.  Thank you for drawing to me when I pray and seek Your face in the midst of the unknown.

HE THAT IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD…

Ever have one of those weeks, where it just feels like nothing is going the way it should?  This is how my week began.  It started off with our trip home to pack up the house on the acreage and make the move back… Continue Reading “HE THAT IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD…”

JOY UNSPEAKABLE JOY…what on earth does that actually mean??

I was having one of those weeks, the type that no matter what you do things just felt grey and dark.  If I turned on worship music I couldn’t seem to focus in… if I tried to read, my mind wandered.  The glass was… Continue Reading “JOY UNSPEAKABLE JOY…what on earth does that actually mean??”
